The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to edge computing expansion, demand for real time decision making, growth of autonomous systems, rising need for data privacy, increasing industrial automation. Major trends in the forecast period include on device machine learning, edge AI acceleration, low power AI processing, real time embedded analytics, AI enabled sensor fusion.
The growing adoption of IoT devices is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the embedded AI market. IoT devices, embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies, leverage embedded AI to facilitate local processing of data on the device itself. This reduces reliance on constant communication with centralized servers, leading to real-time decision-making, improved efficiency, and the ability to derive meaningful insights directly at the edge of IoT ecosystems. For instance, according to Dataprot, a Serbia-based cybersecurity solutions company, there were over ten billion active IoT devices in use in 2021, with projections to increase to 25.4 billion by 2030. Thus, the increasing adoption of IoT devices is a key driver for the growth of the embedded AI market.
Major companies in the embedded AI market are concentrating on developing innovative, technologically advanced solutions, such as advanced cognitive engine embedded AI systems, to improve the capabilities of AI by enhancing processing speeds and facilitating real-time decision-making. An Advanced Cognitive Engine embedded AI solution refers to a sophisticated AI system integrated directly into hardware devices, allowing for advanced data processing, analysis, and decision-making without a heavy reliance on cloud computing. For example, in June 2024, Safran S.A., a France-based aerospace company, introduced the Advanced Cognitive Engine (ACE), an embedded AI solution aimed at enhancing military operations by improving situational awareness and decision support while alleviating cognitive load on personnel. Unveiled at Eurosatory 2024, ACE provides customizable capabilities for various environments, boosts target detection and classification, and will be integrated across a broad range of Safran products, including land vehicles, aircraft, and drones.
